Improvements Made or Action Plan Based on Analysis of Results
Successful completion of programming assignments require a set of contributory skills.
Currently the section lab meetings with the TA for COP 4530 provide an opportunity for
the students to request help and instruction with developing such auxiliary skills. It is
suggested that future instructors create a secondary set of "lightweight" assignments,
focused on the buildup of such auxiliary skills. These should be used in a structured
approach to the lab section meetings, with the assignments distributed for completion
during the lab time. Such a body of assignments can be put together from material
developed over the years by instructors and TAs, to capture the best observed practices
in the form of "institutional memory", guaranteeing consistency of delivered instruction
quality and as a platform for continuing improvement through successive review.
